Notes:

^ ^a ^b ^c Due to the suspensions due to the bench-clearing brawl in the second round game between EAC and Mapua, both teams had less than five players in the immediately succeeding games. Both teams decided to forfeit the games where they had less than five players instead of playing.
^ EAC was leading 86–77 when the game was suddenly halted with 28.5 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. A bench-clearing brawl started when EAC's John Tayongtong bumped into Mapua's CJ Isit at halfcourt. Mapua's Hesed Gabo responded by elbowing Tayongtong, and the situation escalated when Tayongtong threw a punch that sent Isit to the floor. Next, players from both teams spilled into the court, with the referees, bouncers, and coaches trying to put a stop to the melee.^[4] It was later announced that NCAA Commissioner Bai Cristobal had decided to abandon the game, awarding EAC a 86–77 victory.
